About
Halon - An Overview |
|
Halons
have been used for fire and explosion protection throughout
the twentieth century. They are low-toxicity, chemically
stable compounds that, as long as they remain contained in
cylinders, are easily recyclable for reuse. Halon 1211 (a
liquid steaming agent) and Halon 1301 (a gaseous agent) have
been proven to be extremely effective fire suppressants,
which leave no residue and are remarkably safe for human
exposure. From protecting computer and communication rooms
throughout the electronics industry, to numerous military
applications on ships, aircraft and tanks, to ensuring
safety on all commercial aircraft, Halon has been an
integral part of the safety plans in many of today's
manufacturing, electronic, and aviation companies. |
